Liam Finn at The Bell House - Brooklyn, NY 10/11/08


Liam Finn and The Veils played the newly opened (Sept. 08) The Bell House in Brooklyn, NY on Saturday October 11, 2008. I happened to stumble across this tour date when checking out Liam's site. It appears this wasnt part of the official North America tour, where he played The Bowery Ballroom a few months earlier(another great Liam show, maybe will post about that one) which was part of the tour. So a nice little treat from the KrazyKiwi, AND it was only 10$, and the Bell House was a cool little spot. Not far from the the F and a 2 other lines(look it up yourself, I took the F, So F U). Near a bunch of warehouses in Gowanus, a few blocks off of the main drag(4th Ave.). The Bell House has a nice layout, laid-back vibe, nice bar in front, and then through a few doors in the back is the stage with another bar adjacent to the stage. The place has high ceilings, lots of room, good views of the stage from anywhere. Great beers, only $5 a pop. They also have DUB Pies for sale, I didnt try but heard they are good. Liam came on, cracked a few witty jokes as usual, played around with all his toys, and did work! Of course it wouldnt be complete without the voice of EJ Barnes. Liam's partner in crime, who provides amazing vocals and effects along with the rest of the band who occasionally assist on stage with rhythm guitar and drums(Liamm's brother). I dont have the setlist and once I find it, I will post it here. But he pretty much covered the Album sans a few tracks and did an AMAZING improv with EJ where they whaled and screamed and strummed etc and mixed it all up and sounded so sickkkkkk!!! Get out there and see your boy Liam if/when he comes back next year ya hear!
